Food Watch: Sausage Gravy Recipe

Don't buy sausage gravy! Make it yourself. Use any type of sausage you prefer. I like Italian sausage, because I like a little bit of a kick to a it. If you prefer, use a mild sausage.

Sausage Recipe

1lb sausage of choice
2T flour (white or whole wheat)
1 cup (or so) of milk (any type)

In a fry pan, brown sausage as desired. You can use patties or ground into small pieces or dice up links. Once brown, take out of pan and put in bowl. Sprinkle 2T flour over the pan drippings. Stir for a moment. Slowly pour in milk, stopping to stir after every 1/3 cup. This is where you can make it "your own". Keep pouring in a little milk, stirring constantly until it's at your desired thickness. (Everyone likes it differently).

Hint: Don't dump in the milk, because it is easier to add than take out. Stop adding milk when it's your desired thickness.

At this point, you can either add back in the sausage, or use to pour on top of biscuits or other things.
